Data Preparation
Before using the SCIENDO Simulate tool, prepare the following:
- Land Cover Map at T1: A raster files (GeoTIFF
format) representing land use/cover at T1.
- Planning Unit Map: A raster file (GeoTIFF format)
or shapefile of administrative or management zones.
- Land Use/Cover Lookup Table: A CSV file describing
raster values with their corresponding land cover classes.
- Raster Cube: A raster files (GeoTIFF format) or ERS
files containing the factor maps produced by SCIENDO Train.
- Transition Matrices: A list of CSV file containing
transition probability matrix of land cover between T1 and T2 in each
planning unit produced by SCIENDO Scenario Builder.
- Weight of Evidence: A list of DCF file containing
weight of evidence of factor maps produced by SCIENDO Train.
- DINAMICA EGO Path (Optional): A custom path to the
DINAMICA EGO directory installed on your PC if DINAMICA EGO is installed
in a custom installation directory. The default path will be used if not
specified, assuming the default DINAMICA EGO installation
directory.
Before running the SCIENDO Simulate module, ensure
that you have downloaded and installed the DINAMICA EGO software.
Dinamica EGO is a free and non-commercial platform for environmental
modeling with outstanding possibilities for the design. You can download
the version 6 or lower here
but it still compatible with older version. For further description,
please visit the DINAMICA
EGO Documentation.
Accessing Outputs
After the analysis completes, you’ll find the following in your
selected output directory:
- Land use/cover projection maps: List of TIF file
containing land use/cover projection.
- Land use/cover projection lookup table: A CSV file
containing the all of area projected land use/cover.
- EGOML file: A file format containing the model of
DINAMICA EGO.
- SCIENDO Simulate Report: An overview of the
analysis results in HTML format, providing detailed interpretations and
visualizations of these outputs.
